I just installed my voodoo shift knob, and find that it is so low (flush with the shift boot) that I can't comfortably hold it from the side (I get a bunch of boot in my grip). Do you grip it mostly palm down?

 

Plam down is the most common.

 

i kinda push down the boot so the "neck" will show thru

i hold it like a hand shake

 

Thumb up/palm on right side for the 1-2 shift, thumb pointing left/palm down on 2-3, 3-4 shift, thumb pointing down/backhand on 4-5, 5-6 shift.

 

Love the knob. Just picked mine up in October. Great deal. Weird, but I sometimes find myself holding the knob in between my middle and middle finger with my thumb resting on top with my palm facing up. Kinda like a wine glass. Idk. I find it comfortable.

p.s. no h-mo

 

And a short-shifter, and then you can call it "low."

 

45 degrees, maybe even closer to palm down.

awsome peice huh?

 

Palm down is the best and safest.

Palm to the side will lead to more $$ shifts.

 

I'm palm down when upshifting from 1-5 and to the side to 6th. That's pretty much the only time I'm to the side.

 

^ I have no proof, but I agree with this.
